mitt romney did last night what a lot of people expected him to do. he captured three primaries and the attention of president obama. romney won the closest of the three races in wisconsin. rick santorum had devoted significant time and energy, romney took 43% of the vote there, adding to his already wide lead in delegates. romney also cruised to victory in maryland where he won by 20 points. and in the district of columbia, romney wiped out the field taking 70% of the vote. back to wisconsin where exit polling shows a growing sense that it's now just a matter of time. 80% of republican voters there believe mitt romney will be their nominee next fall. a perception romney tried to drive home during his victory speech in milwaukee by focusing his attacks squarely on president obama. >> out of touch liberals like barack obama say they want a strong economy, but in everything they do, they show they don't like business very much. but the economy of course is simply the product of all the businesses in the nation added together. so it's a bit like sayingom
